Abstract
The proposal by Drug Control Officers India (DCO India) to rename the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940 to "Bharatiya Aushadhi awam Chikitsa Upakaran Adhiniyam" has sparked a divided response. Supporters argue that renaming aligns with India's broader efforts to shed colonial legacies and assert national identity, reflecting India's independence and modernization. They view the name change as timely, given recent updates to the Act. However, critics worry about practical implications, such as confusion in international pharmaceutical trade, disruption in legal enforcement, and challenges posed by India's linguistic diversity. Many emphasize that instead of focusing on renaming, efforts should be directed toward strengthening regulatory enforcement and addressing real challenges in the pharmaceutical sector. The debate highlights the tension between symbolic gestures of decolonization and practical concerns of global integration and regulatory efficiency.
